Grammy-winning producer Pharrell Williams' now-infamous oversized hat is once again making headlines months after raising over $40,000 for charity purposes with a public display run going through the fall.
According to a post by fast food chain Arby’s, interested fans can go peep the Vivienne Westwood hat in Washington, DC through late October beginning this week.
“Our hat has found a temporary home. See it exclusively at the @newseum starting on 8/22. #HatattheNewseum https://vine.co/v/M3p2ejQX9Jv,” an Arby’s tweet read August 22. (Arby’s Twitter)
Buzz about the hat being Arby’s property surfaced last March.
Pharrell Williams’ infamous Vivienne Westwood “Jell Mould” hat has been sold on eBay to a philanthropic, hat-loving person for $44,100 today. This headpiece-loving person, it turns out, is actually the fast-food chain Arby’s, whose love for Pharrell’s hat is well-documented. (NY Mag)
Instead of balling out with the $44,100, Skateboard P had promised to put the money up toward a good cause.
Williams revealed on Twitter that the money from the sale will go to the charity One Hand to AnOTHER, but, fortunately for losing bidders, there are many, many more chances to win Pharrell’s hats, as he’s also worn them to Art Basel, Oscar pre-parties, and onstage during his performance of “Happy” at the Oscars tonight. Or you could just buy one from the Vivienne Westwood boutique for $180. But the better question is: how much will his Lanvin shorts eventually sell for? (NY Mag)
Skateboard P’s hat went up for grabs on digital retailer eBay last February.
Williams is auctioning off the massive Vivienne Westwood hat on eBay, and the highest bid is already at $10,500! The eBay listing reads: “Now is your chance to own a piece of pop culture history! Bid on Pharrell Williams’ Vivienne Westwood ‘Mountain’ hat that was one of the biggest hits of the 2014 GRAMMY Awards.” The hat also comes with a “Letter of Authenticity.” The bidding continues through March 2, with all proceeds benefiting From One Hand to Another, Pharrell’s charity to help underserved youth.
